Graphing Linear Equations

Common Core Objectives

8.F.B.4* Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.

8.F.B.5 Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.

With Mastery, I can:

Find the slope of a linear relationship from multiple forms of representation (graph, table, points, and word problems)
Write the linear equation from multiple forms of representation
Compare and Interpret rates of change
Graph linear equations using slope and y-intercepts
Reason the effect the m and b have on linear equations in slope intercept form , y=mx+b
